Hey, we all know that the WordPress community is like super stupendously amazing. But did you know that you don’t have to wait for that once-a-year WordCamp to hang out?

We have lots of WordPress Meetup Groups throughout Southern California, so there’s sure to be one in your neck of the woods, beach, desert, or mountains. Check ’em out over on our Community Page.

This week we’ve got:

• OC WordPress Design Meetup happening Monday, August 4th. WordCamp LAX speaker Joseph Karr O’Connor, perhaps better known in the WP Community as ‘Accessible Joe’ will be speaking on accessible design.
• Inland Empire WordPress Meetup will be on Tuesday, August 5th. If you’ve been out to that one before, note that they’ve got a new location this month, and haven’t decided on a topic just yet, but it’s sure to be a good time hanging out and learning something new with WP peeps.
• Los Angeles WordPress 101 will be meeting up that same night, on Tuesday, August 5th to talk about plugin best practices. This group is just for those who are just getting started with WordPress and need a little extra help getting things figured out.
• Advanced WordPress (San Diego) is hosting a summer hackathon at Thought House. If you’re in the mood to code, collaborate, and create be sure to RSVP to join them.

Holy smokes! That’s all happening within the next 7 days!

Our local WordPress community is something really extra special, so don’t hesitate to jump in and get involved with one of your local WordPress meetup groups. You don’t have to wait until WordCamp!
